Planning For A Sustainable Future: Federal Technical Assistance and Funding

The Federal Government offers a wide range of funding and technical assistance programs to help make communities more sustainable and livable. Many of these are included in the Federal Technical Assistance and Funding Matrix listed below. Programs tied to the construction or reconstruction of housing and businesses, public infrastructure (transportation, utilities, water, and sewer), and supporting overall hazard mitigation and community planning objectives are emphasized in the matrix. Some programs are disaster specific, activated by a presidential disaster declaration under the provisions of the Stafford Act. Also included are programs or grants that are not specifically disaster related.
